The Azzurri were immediately in the spotlight at the Peace Race juniors, which started today from Litoměřice with the first 109-kilometer stage. Mattia Agostinacchio and Alessio Magagnotti finished in second and third positions, overtaken only by the Dutch rider Gijs Schoonvelde, 18 years old from Koekange in the province of Drenthe, who gained a few meters on the group just before the finish line. A promising start for the young Italian national team, with Agostinacchio and Magagnotti already close to victory.
